"You ask me if 1 have anything to say
about England. Well, my impression of the
Prince of Wales may be of interest. 1 had
the honor of dining and lunching with his
royal highness, and was impressed with the
fact that the prince was one of the best in
formed Englishmen, particularly on Amer
lean affairs, that 1 had ever met. He takes
the most lively and sincere interest in all
that goes on in the United States, and is very
earnest in the desire that the relations be-
tween the two countries be cordial and har-
monious.
SIN conversation the Prince of Wales has
a way of almost cross examining the person
with whom he is talking, which enables him
to gain an immense amount of information
that he could not obtain in any other manner.
1 found him quite familiar with the names of
our various public men, with what they have
done and are doing, and he showed, by his
questions, a profound understanding of our
present political situation.
although, as 1 said, the prince has in con-
versation this way of cross examination, it is
not done at all Extensively; in fact, he is a
consummate master of the art of making
every man appear at his best by encouraging
him to speak on subjects that are familiar to
him. He possesses another art too, which is
one of the rarest and most essential of public
gifts, that of paying those he has met the
honor of remembering them. Notwith-
standing the thousands of persons who are
presented to him every year, the Prince of
Wales never fails to recognize u single one of
them on n future occasion, and Will often
even show by some delicate allusSon that he
recalls the circumstances of the first meeting"
Interview with Chauncey NJ. Depew.

Last night about II o'clock two colored
denizens Of Chicago were making them
selves obnoxious on Ferguson street.
Their foul language brought bushes to
to the face of men accustomed to rhetori-
cal efforts of that sort, and the women
soon attracted the attention of the police.
They eluded the officers, however, by a
hasty retreat to their rendezvous, but
we're not followed, it being concluded
that it was useless to arrest them, as they
were old and improbable offenders.
About midnight, made bold by additional
drinks, the females again appeared upon
Ferguson street and repeated their dis
graceful actions. Policeman Sullivan was
soon in pursuit, and the offenders lost no
time in seeking refuge in a hack, ordering
the driver of the hack to pro-
coed C~hicagoward Immediately. The
officer captured the hack and instructed
the Jehu to convey his load to the city
jail. When at the corner of Seventeenth
and Eddy streets the occupants of the
carriage left the vehicle by the door oppo-
site the policeman and started up Eddy
street at breakneck pace. They were soon
sighted by the officer, but were not cap
tured until several hours later.

YOU will never find me riding on an en-
gine simply for the sensation of watching
the roadway. At one time l had q regu-
lar passion for that kind of thing. and in
every case where q permit could be OBJ
tanned ] rode in the cab. 1t was IN the
Burlington two years ago that / received
a lesson which will not be forgotten. The
engineer and fireman were in their GUS
tomary seats, and L was on the right
side leaning against the cab, chatting with
the men. Something led me to inquire
how many ways of escape were open in
case of an accident. The engineer, Jim
Goodwin, looked around and gravely an
swered: "Only two" nodding at the win
dows. "What is the third man to do?" was
my neXt question. BE crushed by the
tender,'' was the laconic reply.
You bet, l thought a good deal, and at
the next station, Red Oak, 1 think l told
Jim that I'd go back to the coach, chances
were too slim on the %footboard. Jim
shook hands, remarking that he never
liked to see a friend in the cab. You may
call 1t a presentiment If you please, but
that talk saved my life. In the course of
another hour we ran into a car that stuck
over the end of n switch. Jim slapped on
the air brake, threw over his lever and
went out of the window, and his fireman
jumped on the other side. The engine was
ditched and the tender piled right into the
cab, where l would nave been crushed.
My friend Jim sprained his ankle, broke
one arm and was terribly cut about the
head, although none of his injuries were
fatal. Now l ride in the place assigned to
passengers.-T. l.. CRANKY in Globe-Dem-

have the air of THE YOUNG
their profession, and a horse jockey is known
at sight. He might as wela wear a tag. Not
so the author. How often will you read a
production in which the sentences make you
think of a sledgehammer struck on the anvil
by a brawny blacksmith, but when you have
climbed three or four stairs to see the author
in his den, you find him a c~onsumptive little
fellow Gike Aleck Stephens, for instance), who
would take dyspepsia from a cup of strong
coffee and get roaring drunk on a gill of
whisky. No, you really must not judge of
m authors physique by his style, and except
the deep chest and stocky arm there is moth
ing about Mr.. George to suggest the author
of Progress and Poverty and inventor of a
new system of political economy. Just now
he is one of the busiest men in New York,
and is of course confident, like all reformers,
that the cause is destined to a speedy triumph.
From The and office we went to the
Cooper Institute and headquarters of the
Anti-Poverty society, where we found active
Secretary Clark, surrounded by a bevy of
handsome young ladies who were mailing
documents enough to onver the world, if
the bright smiles of said assistants could have
accompanied each document. Down to this
point the artist had got along very well; but
the more he tried to take a sketch of Secre-
tary Clark, the more ladies would get into
his sketch book. The accompanying cut
shows the strange, but not unpleasing, re-
suit. Secretary Clark ook the born Radi-
cal-the man destined to stir up the stagnant
and upset things. His experience in Ireland
is just what one might have expected from
his pronounced Celtic features, mobile eyes
aud peculiar light hair, Of that shade which
may be said to be red-heditary in Ulster.
He may have come to America for peace, but
storm and tumult form his natural elements;
he may change his sky-he ammo change
his destiny. And this ended our interview;
for DR.. McGlynn and nearly all the other ac-
tive agitators are out of the city except on
Saturday nights and Sundays. But their
meetings are largely attended, and whether
they cast 1000 votes, as their opponents say,
or 200 600, as their friends claim, they nave
stirred the dull pool of off year politics and
added thereto a new and decidedly etferves-
cont ingredient.

All About a $40 MnnerIck.

A suit which has been pending in
Judge Lees court for two days was ter.
minated yesterday by placing John W.
Duncan under bonds in the sum of 5000
to insure his appearance at the next term
Of court. The crime charged is the mis-
branding of a calf valued at $l2. Ed T..
Duffy was the complaining witness. Mr..
Duncan did not deny the allegation, but
swore positively that upon the occasion
referred to the animal in question was
following a COW belonging to himself aud
that when he used the branding iron he
believed that he was protecting his own
property. County Attorney Stoll con-
Quoted the prosecution, while Mr.. Duncan
managed his own case, introducing expert
testimony establishing hat a calf often
followed a COW which had not borne it
and that the misbranding of mavericks
frequently grew out of such incidents.

minor titles of learning. He is quite a lin
gust; speaks English, Russian and German
with most graceful fuency, French n
italian sufficiently for ordinary business, and
reads the classic authors like a German pro-
fessor. In English and German he is a most
pleasing speaker; but in the twelve years he
has been in America his native Russian
has become a trifle rough on the
tongue. He was a Liberal from his
youth, and at an early age received a press
ing invitation to leave Russia. Fortunately
for hin he got away before the coming of
the Black Terror as the Russians call the
system now prevailing there. Mr.. Shevitch
is making arrangements for his public de
bate with Mr.. George, which is to begin on
Monday evening, October "a. 1t was to have
begun a week earlier, but the attack on the
Progressive Labor party's meeting in Union
Square, on the evening of the Sth, and the
indignation meeting in consequence, ex-
hausted his time. So it has been thought
best to postpone the debate until the temper
of both sides had cooled down a trife. With

dirt like New York city, and few in the low
land west; so the fame of the George
tics of this city has waxcd great, making the
party a matter worthy attention. In pursuit
thereof We climbed to the sanctum of The
Standard, at the corner of Ann and Nassau
streets, only to find none in but the youthful
secretary of Mr.. Horny George. But he is a
character, just in the most attractive stage of
ardent youth, and rs full of Georgeism as an
egg is of albumen 1t was refreshing
to listen to him. 1t always is pleas
ant to listen to a young fellow whose
hearty enthusiasm has not been chilled by
the cold, hard necessities of life. So, God
bless the ardent young men-it does us old
ones good to hear them and recall the time
when it did not take half so long as now to
get our venerable boilers full of steam.
eve came in later to find Mr.. George, Just
returned from the country; and 1 was aston
ished at his appearance. l had somehow
formed the idea from his masculine style of
writing that he was about six feet high and
muscled like the Farnese Hercules; in truth
he is but a trifie above fives fleet, and could
hardly get into the army by the United
States standard, but is deep chested and
brawny, with a bright expressive eye,
and hair that may politely be styled

The native born American is the worst
waiter of them all. He comes to the bust
ness through misfortune, and he is a dis
gusted, disheartened and thoroughly disa-
greeable man. He is bound to show his
contempt for the work by slamming the
dishes upon the table, growing at the
guests, grumbling at any extra service,
and accepting his tips without thanks.
There are some good walters of almost
every nationality under the sun except
Americans. Some people might think the
college boys who serve the tables Of the
mountain hotels in summer were an ex-
ccption, but the way they put food on the
tables Of a summer hotel in the mountains
is not waiting. Besides, the impression
able guests always make 50 much ado
about college student walters that the
young men get to think it is n sort of dis
tinCtion, and SO they get over the Ameri-
cans repugnance to that kind of work

The symptoms of b~iliousncss are unhap-
ply too well known. They differ in diff
ferent individuals to some extent. A bill
ious man is seldom a breakfast eater.
Too frequently, alas, he has an excellent
appetite for liquids but zone for solids of
a morning. His tongue will hardly bear
inspection at any time; if it is not white
and furred, it is rough, at all events.
The digestive system is wholly out of
order and Diarrhea or Constipation may
be a symptom or the two may alternate.
There are often Hemmorrhoids or cven
loss Of blood. There may be giddiness
and often headache and acidity or iatu-
lence and tenderness in the pit of the
stomach. To correct all this if not effect
a cure try Green's august FJot0er, it costs
but a trife and thousands attest its efficacy.

SECRETARY CLARK AND HIS YOUNG LADIES
1.-The AntI-Poverty society is q totally dis
tinct machine from the Henry George single
land tax United Labor party, though they
aim at the same end and are harmonious.
DR.. McGlynn is nominal head of the former;
it is social, literary and semi-religious, while
the other is purely political. The
distinction is just about the same
as that between total abstinence men
and prohibitionists; all of the one class
are not of the other, but they incline" So
not quite all the Anti-Poverty sy~mpathizers
are Henry George men, but they affiliate
well, and the former party has a charm the
other lacks, viz. the active participation of
many attractive and intelligent ladies.
From the United Labor party's office in
Ann street to the Progressive Labor party's
rooms at No. 1856 William street is but a few
steps, and the names would indicate but q
trihing difference; yet Mr.. George at the
former and Mr.. Shevitch at the latter will
tell you that the difference is world wide.
Like the homoousion and the homoiousion of
the early Christians, these names, so near
alike, are those of the two most determinedly
hostile parties in the state. The George men
refuse all fellowship with the Shevitch men
and stigmntize them rs socialists; the latter
ridicule the single land tax theory OF the

The Pioneer newspaper gives an &c
count of the execution Of Tuimur Shah,
the %ringleader of the recent HeraJ mutiuy.
Taimur was taken to n public place, and
there, after his beard had been plucked
out, he was stoned to death by the chief
officers Of the army, Parwana Khan, as
kowtal of the city, casting the first stone.
1t is said that Taimur, who was a man Of
exceptionally powerful build, did not die
at once, though stones were piled upon
him in a large heap. Two days later the
sentry on duty saw a movement among
the stones, and, STOPPING, he heard Tai
nun say: ooh, creature of God, come kill
me, that l may be released from this tor
ment." This being reported to the ameer,
he ordered Teimur to be killed outright. "

Gelsoline is the name of a new material
resembling silk. A writer in the journal
Commercial ct Maritime says of it that
two students in Italy have invented an
apparatus the object Of which is to sub
stitute mulberry fiber for cotton, and
have given it the above name. On re
moving the bark from the young shoots
OF mulberry trees n fiber is found which
in hneness and ~tcnacity is not exceeded by

treat the bark and isolate the fiber by a
